Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Episode 619
Ex Machina (6)
“You…!!”
The assassin, who belatedly recognized Lennok’s existence, glared at him with a sharp gaze, but
Lennok ignored the assassin’s sharp killing spree and raised his head.
A giant biceps statue standing in a dark cavity.
An instrument brought by the doctor for the interim settlement in Pandaemonium, and a divine instrument used to store, retrieve, and exchange the knowledge and power of the Old World.
It was because the object had suddenly appeared in the coordinates returned from tracking the assassin and appeared before Lennok’s eyes.
“Damn it…!!”
The assassin sent a bloody gaze as if he would kill Lennok at any moment, but he couldn’t move easily from the spot.
It was only then that Lennok, who gazed intently at the assassin, realized that fact and nodded.
“It feels good. Did you try to remove the bullet knowing you were being tracked?”
Blood is dripping down the inside of his rolled-up forearm, and he is holding a thin knife resembling a scalpel in his hand.
Self-harm that I couldn’t even attempt without the determination to dig into my flesh and get the bullet out.
He probably guessed that the presence of bullets would be a hindrance right after he succeeded in escaping.
“It’s impossible unless you’ve had a similar experience…It seems that you have carried out this type of assassination operation many times.”
“….”
“A side squad?”
Lennok’s direct question made the assassin’s momentum sharper.
Although he didn’t show it on the outside, it was proof that he was caught off guard in an instant.
However, Lennok was certain that the assassin was an agent of the Side Squad from the moment he faced Idupalbi’s identity.
It was because the pattern on the person identified through Commissioner Langmuir seemed to be the core force forming the group called Side Squad.
Did he think there was no reason to remain silent as long as his true identity was discovered?
The assassin glanced back at Idupalbi’s statue behind him and fired a quick shot at Lennok.
“I don’t know how I came to know about this place, but I won’t kill you if you keep your mouth shut here and go back. From the beginning, my only goal was Narcissa Solmer.”
“But you also shot the colleague you taught yourself how to shoot.”
“….”
It was this same man who taught the soldier visiting Lennok bad maintenance habits and was the one who deliberately prevented him from zeroing.
The assassin’s face seemed to blur for a moment at Lennok’s plain reply, but he quickly corrected his expression.
“For this moment, the Security Department has devoted several years. Small sacrifices are unavoidable… … .”
“Do you know where exactly this personal item is used?”
“…!!”
Lennok passed by his father-in-law and stood in front of the statue of Idupalbi.
Lennok, who touched the statue’s arm while the startled assassin looked back, said,
“I thought there was no way there were multiple items like this, but the appearance is slightly different from what I remember. The inherent power isn’t that great either.”
“….”
“No, looking at it now, the material itself….”
It is not the hard ore that Lennok remembered, but a form of bronze that rusts and crumbles little by little.
Realizing in an instant that the statue standing here was not something the doctor had left behind, Lennok looked away.
“It was an imitation. Is it an object made so that it can be used simply by projecting only the power of the god?”
Without waiting for the assassin’s answer, Lennok lowered his head.
“It doesn’t even make sense to hide such a precious sacred weapon near the workshop area. Another original is hidden somewhere in Machine City… … .”
The new image of Idupalbi used by the doctor for the interim settlement and another second image that exists somewhere in the machine city.
And what is now positioned in front of Lennok’s eyes is a replica made to imitate the second image and project its abilities.
‘Considering that traces of relics and knowledge from the old world stand out here and there, did the doctor ever work for Makina?’
The end of Teremer, the horse gun of the old world.
The technology that Side Squad agents put their consciousness into the thought circuit through body modification.
The artifact transformation imitation formula from the old world contained in the pendant Narcissa brought.
And even the shape of the Idupalbi Goddess that Lennok is facing now.
The reverence for the traces and knowledge of the old world can be seen everywhere to the extent that it is too much to pass it up as a coincidence.
At Lennox’s words, the assassin asked nothing more.
I just gritted my teeth and stabbed the knife in my hand without hesitation into my forearm.
Pooh!!
“Whoa….”
With her eyebrows slightly furrowed, she unhesitatingly digs into the inside of her forearm muscle.
The fresh blood flowing down the blade dripped down his fingers and forearm, tearing at even the flesh and cutting it off.
Teeing!!
The bullet pushed back with the tip of the knife fell powerlessly at the assassin’s feet.
Without even thinking to stop the bleeding on his forearm, he raised a knife at Lennok. It looked like the blade had been ripped off and had become tattered.
the assassin said.
“This hand knife is made of Grazaia ore. Even if you get hit in front of your nose, it will bend a little and end up.”
“….”
“It says that this item was used for a short time to extract bullets. Do you know what this means?”
“well.”
Lennok laughed.
“I don’t think you need to proudly tell me you’ve been scammed.”
In reality, Lennok’s remaining magic power in the bullet corroded the blade and ruined it, but Lennok didn’t bother to tell me that fact.
Wasn’t the assassin expecting a normal answer too?
“Whoops…!”
The figure of an assassin who had been smiling darkly appeared right in front of Lennok’s nose and kicked him in the shoulder.
Kwaaaaang!!
The figure of Lennok bouncing and rolling in the middle of a dark hollow.
Without stopping there, he catches up with Lennok and presses down on his neck with his rough arm.
Hard!!
Asked the assassin who got on top of the sliding figure with his back torn off the floor and subdued Lennok at once.
“Are you the bailiff?”
“….”
“If you belonged to the Mechanized Corps, you wouldn’t even try to talk to me like this. Who is behind it?”
“Don’t you think the order is wrong?”
A voice that is incredibly calm despite being kicked and pressed against the neck.
Lennok’s answer followed as the assassin stunned at the tone.
“You were the one who plotted the assassination against Narcissa Solmer. Rather, there are so many things I want to ask.”
“I don’t have time right now to talk nonsense like that…!!”
Saying that, the assassin was about to intimidate Lennok, but suddenly looked down and realized what was wrong.
If the human body had been swept and slipped on the floor for several tens of meters, blood and flesh and all kinds of miserable fragments should have remained intact.
Even so, the common floor that leads to Lennok’s feet is extremely clean without a handful of dust.
The moment the assassin recognized the fact stood up from his seat.
“Well, I guess I know roughly what they were aiming for.”
A calm voice came from right next to the assassin.
Before he knew it, Lennok, who was standing next to him, took out a pendant from his bosom and looked closely at it.
“Was Narcissa waiting for the moment to bring this artifact outside?”
“…!!”
A crafting tool in the furnace camp that Narcissa presented to Lennok for testing purposes and Lennok repaired it on the spot.
I think I now know why Narcissa was not confirmed and killed on the spot even after the assassination was conspired.
For the assassin, securing the pendant safely was more important than making sure Narcissa was killed.
“profit…!!”
An assassin looking for an opportunity to snatch the pendant from Lennok’s hand.
Not caring about the assassin’s reaction at all, Lennok was lost in thought as he touched the pendant he had repaired.
“Even the existence of pendants and statues…Right.”
After saying that, Lennok smiled and threw the pendant back at the assassin.
“Try it.”
“…what?”
“Try to activate the divine powers. You would have stolen the pendant for that?”
“….”
“Looking at the fact that they prepared such a secretariat near the lower workshop district, they must have known that Narcissa would be dispatched and made preparations.”
Lennok laughed at the silent assassin.
“You’ve been waiting for this opportunity. What are you doing?”
“Damn it….”
The assassin gritted his teeth at the thought that his true intentions had been exposed, but he could not resist Lennok any longer.
It was because he had just made two futile attempts in the battle and realized that he could not gauge his opponent’s strength at all.
The man standing in front of him now is an overwhelmingly strange and mysterious monster compared to any strong man the assassin has ever faced.
“….”
The assassin with a strong grip on the pendant stood in front of the Idupalbi statue with a nervous expression.
The moment when Narcissa’s pendant was placed on the statue’s open hand.
Kugu Palace… … !!
The statue’s hand shriveled slowly, clutching the pendant and clenching a fist.
At the same time, the five eyes on the left side of the statue’s two faces slowly begin to open.
“Okay, it works…!!”
The jubilant assassin climbed onto the statue’s arm and immediately shouted urgently with both arms wide open.
“I want to know where the dragon’s heart is… … ! Or any information about him would be great!!!”
“The Dragon’s Heart…?”
The moment the assassin looked at the new statue urgently, not caring even if Lennok asked him back.
As if in response to those words, the statue’s eyes opened and looked down at the assassin.
Contrary to Lennok’s memory, the eyes of the statue with the eyelids lifted were terrifyingly bloodshot.
“hmm?”
The moment Lennok frowned slightly at the sight of him.
The wide open hand of the statue of God swung as if rejecting the assassin and bounced it off.
Whoo!!
The appearance of the assassin widening the distance and moving away from the statue with an agitated expression as if he had not expected such a reaction at all.
“Chit…!!”
In the meantime, I tried to run away from Lenok with the pendant I quickly retrieved, but
Taang!!
“omg!!”
At the same time as he heard the gunshot, the pain that ran up his side accurately cut off the flow of magical energy in his body.
The assassin, bleeding from his side, looked back with difficulty to see the face of Lennok, who was slowly walking towards him.
In his hand was a white revolver that emitted faint smoke.
However, the difference from before is that cracks of blue light are spreading on the surface of the white metal as if an electric current is flowing.
“no….”
Lennok ignored the assassin’s defiance and took the pendant from his hand.
“The pendant made by Jingun Hwadeok is not a relic of the old world. To be precise, it’s just a Noble Phantasm created by applying technology from the old world.”
“….”
“The new statues collect and exchange are not objects related to the old world, but only memories directly intertwined with the forgotten world. You don’t know exactly that.”
It wasn’t that Lennok handed over the pendant to the assassin for nothing and suggested that he use the god’s ability.
Because Lenok, who knew relatively accurately about both the pendant and the statue, knew from the start that this deal would not come true.
As a result, should we be satisfied with inducing the assassin to find out what he wanted?
“He is the one behind the scenes who vaguely knows about the ability of the god even while searching for the dragon’s heart… … Or rather, would it be correct to think that the standard was tested?”
From the moment he realized that his abilities were being projected through replicas of his statue, Lennok had ruled out the possibility that the assassins had acted on their own.
The fact that the replica was brought here in advance means that someone is separately storing the second statue corresponding to the original.
“Side squad. What does that have to do with Pandaemonium? Are you following orders from the doctor?”
“…!!!”
Did that one word from Lennok become a trigger?
“Oh, no…please!!!”
The moment he heard those words, the assassin’s whole body began to twitch and creak like mad.
Knock Knock!!
A bizarre groaning sound as if the whole flesh were swelling up. A noise like gears turning from inside the body.
“Turn off…ugh!!!”
Ddu-dududuk!!
The steel frame protruding from the inside of the assassin’s face, which raised his head, covered his whole body and transformed into a strange monster.
[Haahiah !!]
The monster that jumped up with a new scream rushed to Lenox.
A bloody gesture to shatter the invisible shield and tear out Lennok’s heart without hesitation.
But at about the same time, the revolver bullets raised by Lennok slashed the blades and exploded.
Kwaaaaang!!
[Kiyi Interest !!!]
As soon as you recognize that you are going to accept Lennox’s Matan from the front, you change the tactics.
It moves quickly through the dark cavity, distracting Lennok’s aim.
Papababat!!
The moment the dull metallic glow flashes through the shadows, the movement has already left the spot and aimed at Lennok’s blind spot.
But as soon as Lennok saw the gesture, he put down his revolver and drew another gun.
Clap!!
A thin, elongated laser gun that glows with a cold indigo glow.
However, what is unusual is that there is an elaborately carved crystal prism floating in front of the elongated muzzle.
The shape of a prism that remains fixed in position as if it were fixed in front of the barrel even when the barrel is moved around.
Without a moment to be wary of the bizarre appearance, Lenok immediately pushed the magazine in and finished loading.
Beep beep!!!
A series of messages popping up rapidly at the same time as the laser gun’s scope is being targeted simultaneously.
[Prediction calculation completed.]
[Auto intercept activated.]
Shortly after the message appeared under the scope, Lennok pulled the trigger and the muzzle of the laser gun began to glow brightly.
Faaaaa!!!
The light from the laser burst from the inside of the muzzle passed through the crystal prism and split into dozens of beams in an instant, dazzling the cavity.
A monster trying to get out of sight by turning, slowing down and accelerating all over the cavity.
But surprisingly, the beam split into dozens of branches hit the body of the rampaging monster without an error.
Doo doo doo!!!
[…] … !!!]
The laser that split almost simultaneously catches up and penetrates the trajectory of the monster desperately escaping.
Only then did the monster, realizing that it was impossible to evade within the scope Lennok was aiming at, howled and galloped in a straight line.
[Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
beams are allowed indiscriminately from the front, he stumbles with the high heat that penetrates deep into his body and shatters the steel frame.
Nevertheless, the monster gathered all of its remaining strength and managed to grab the prism of the laser gun and break it.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
man who tries to self -destructing all over his body while spitting out the colorful gangsters.
But Lennok stared blankly at the monster before pulling out another prism from his bosom.
“There is one more.”
[Ah?]
Realizing that it was the same equipment as the prism he had just spent and destroyed, the monster screamed in agony.
I didn’t have to pull the trigger any more.
Taang!!
A shot between the eyebrows of a terribly distorted assassin inside a completely shattered steel frame.
Looking at the shape of the monster that lost its power and collapsed on the spot, Lennok appropriately collected the remaining wreckage.
“Is it a self-destruct killing machine that transforms into a trigger with a specific word? You made something unique like a machine city.”
A human weapon that indiscriminately destroys and self-destructs the surroundings by transforming the hormones that explode explosively from the brain right before a person dies.
Isn’t it the best way to stage a specific case and destroy witnesses and evidence?
If you think about it, the shadow leader who infiltrated Lennok’s studio also changed into a strange beast at the end and made a fuss.
“Pandemonium….”
Pandemonium and Dr. It seems clear that they responded to this keyword, but it is difficult to figure out how much they are involved in this case.
It wouldn’t be impossible if you were determined and used Lennok’s magic or Victor’s contact network.
Otherwise, Lennok’s position as an artisan would be in jeopardy.
‘Now that Narcissa has been caught up in an assassination attempt, it’s hard to know whether the plan to relocate the upper workshop district will go ahead as promised. … ’
Although he had hunted down the assassin, he still hadn’t crossed the line where he could run the workshop in the name of Lyman.
As long as you know that you can fool the eyes of the executioner and the Ex-Machinas, it won’t be bad to maintain your craftsmanship as long as you can.
Lennok murmured as he checked the time after arranging the assassin’s corpse to look like it had been roughly self-destructed.
“It took about 3 minutes for the investigative agency to find this place….”
I had to leave immediately so that no traces or circumstances of Lennok’s presence would be discovered, but… … .
While Lennok thought so, he stared blankly at the replica of the statue that was still intact.
“…good.”
In the interim settlement, due to the doctor’s intervention, it was only possible to use the new ability once, but given the opportunity, there is no reason to pass it up.
Lennok immediately climbed onto the statue’s palm and took out an object from his bosom.
